OVERVIEW

Have you ever felt like there’s no clear vision and strategy in your team or organisation? Are you constantly being bombarded by competing ideas, feedback, and priorities? Are you wondering why you are spending time and effort on initiatives that may not have clear a customer benefit?

Running a customer centricity diagnosis and roadmapping workshop can be really helpful in these situations to pause, increase cross-functional and stakeholder collaboration and provide inspiration and clarity for the team.

This half-day workshop consists of hands-on activities, group discussion, and real-life examples. It will give you the skills, tools, and techniques required to run meaningful customer centricity diagnosis and roadmapping workshops within your organisation - no matter if it’s a start-up, small business, or large corporate.

We’ll cover how you can help product teams evaluate the current state (diagnosis), identify the customer-centricity metrics that matter (defining success metrics), imagine the future state (envisioning), and be analytical when prioritising activities and features (planning).

At the end of the workshop, you will receive your own copy of the diagnosis and roadmapping workshop toolkit and templates for creating your own roadmap and customer-centricity dashboard, so you can easily prepare and run this type of sessions within your organisation.

IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU'LL LEARN:

The value of running customer-centricity diagnosis and roadmapping workshops

When and how running a diagnosis and roadmapping workshop can be useful

How to prepare and run the workshops and common activities involved
